To everybody else:

To understand the necessity of this Security Feature, we can trace back to a massive World Hopping attack on OSRS in March:

"Hey - sorry about that. This looks like it's a separate issue, normally caused by world-hopping restrictions we've implemented in order to protect our servers when they're under attack.

You may have to wait a while before being able to log in again, but you should be able to! If you do keep having issues, please head here
and we'll try to help. We'd recommend in the short-term to avoid world-hopping too much.

Thanks for your patience!"

"18:43 GMT: We're investigating login issues. If you're currently logged in we recommend avoiding world hopping and dangerous content.

19:58 GMT: You should be able to login again. Our game worlds were subjected to a sustained attack. We've had to temporarily add some harsh restrictions when logging into the game or world-hopping repeatedly to help mitigate such attacks. If you're unable to login to the game as a result of these restrictions we recommend waiting a short period of time before trying again."

Unfortunately, all the players not playing OSRS are affected since then. To me this is still fair for RS3 players although the root of the problem came from OSRS but we need to understand one Jagex account covers both games.

@Louiellen

You wanted more information, right? Now you get the
Truth
. Happy?

Jagex resorting to communicate with social media instead of RSOF is a different whole can of worms in itself. I prefer you don't open it.

Wrong. The original post was on OSRS.

Dilbert, I tried to discuss with you the issue with civility. Resorting to the use of insulting words is a different issue altogether. Keep the discussion civil.

I didn't use any insulting word at all.

Do you admit now Jagex acknowledged their servers were under sustained attacks, contrary to what you think everybody is victims? That's why they need to step up on their Security Feature.

Calling someone as dillusional is not acceptable, regardless to who you address that word to. I'll leave this thread, as you had not made anyone feel better to be honest with you. You just boast your posts ad infinitum without promoting positivity for the affected victims.

@everybody who wants answers... who wants the truth...

We can't handle the truth! We Scapers live in a world that has toxic players, and those toxic bad apples have to be guarded by Jmods with Security Features. Who's going to do it? You? Me Dilbert2001? Jagex has a greater responsibility than you can fathom. You weep for a few players who hop worlds a few more times and you blame Jagex. You have the luxury of not knowing the login server attackers but you can't now as I unveiled the plain truth - the login server attackers.

While not perfect for inconveniencing a few innocent players who accidentally hopped worlds too many times, Jagex actually saved our beloved games by locking out plenty of true attackers.

I have a hard time understanding your motive, Dilbert. Why do you even start mentioning rule-breakers in a discussion like this? It clearly has nothing to do with that at all.
It's like you're not reading when people explain they have made many reports explaining their issue, when it triggered etc. And as it has been said plenty of times, this happens completely random and without hopping worlds. It is as random as it gets and once you've encountered it the first time, it just won't get away.

I get that Jagex are not calling it a bug/glitch, but when a system implemented to stop whatever it is there to stop ends up stopping the fair users of the product, well then it becomes a bug/glitch. At least that's my opinion and I am sure a lot of people share that - and I am sure even more would share it once they are on our side of the line.

Luckily for me (!!!!!!!) it "only" seems to happen every other day, at least that's how it's been for the past 10 days or so, before it was rarer. So I am just crossing my fingers that I won't get hit as bad as Season, whom I feel really bad for, and btw Season and I are in the same clan, so I know she's not online at all currently.

My worst one was 15 hours where I tried 3 times and succeeded on 3rd attempt. My shortest was 2 hours. And reading these threads past few weeks I can tell that I am one of the luckier victims of this. Rank #56 Overall. 8000/1****? Hard caskets stacked. 7000/8****? Elite caskets stacked.
31/37 boss logs completed - Ultimate Slayer achieved
Would you trust a Price-checking service that has bots running in W2 advertising themselves constantly? I wouldn't!
